sharing your memory reminded me of a long time ago. I was 5yo, fishing upstate NY on a remote beaver pond, my dad & grandpa at my side. 3-4 colorful Brooktrout on the rope stringer and all I could focus on were the bottles of Coke, cooling down in the outlet creek of the pond.
Thanks for the excellent orientation video. Hoping to fish Panguich Oct 16th thru 20th. Thanks to you, I already know a good place to start. I'll report back on how I did.
Wishing you good luck. If flyfishing, have a few imitator chub streamer flies on hand. And some wooly buggers tied in balanced leech configuration. Olive & brown color, little flash-a-bou in a marabou tail and touch of orange throat is killer on big tiger & cutthroat trout in the fall season.
Dry flies, mayfly imitations like; dark Hendrickson, Wulff, March Brown, Olive parachute Dun. When fish are visibly taking flies off surface. 80% of time, I fish the flies listed below, and set ups. Nymphs; green & gray hares' ear, scud green, scud brown, black midge-gold rib, pheasant tails. I often fish nymphs under float, like in video. Float>16" dropper nymph, bottom leader end another nymph. 2 nymph flies can be very effective. Or balanced jig fly on end leader, nymph 16-20" under float indicator. Beaded Jig leech flies: olive-blk/head, brown/red head, black-red, red/brown sparkle. muddler minnow streamer, slow sink line is one of my fall favorites, cast, let sink a bit, strip in. Good luck, have fun.
Yes, see my other responses about my mispronunciation. Being I'm from the Pacific Northwest, the native tribes there pronounce the U; "Tulalip, Muckleshoot, Nisqually, Skookumchuck" etc. Not so I guess in Utah, so many different native tribe dialects throughout the country.
Hey Mav, this is Happy. how's the Flyfishing going out there at Panguitch? Hope your hooking into some good ones. The Damsel hatch should be getting good about now. I'm exploring Northern Utah this summer so I won't be there this year. Best of luck to you!
Wishin' I was fishin'! Been helping my 2 adult daughters, 1 in Seattle, 1 in South San Francisco, the last few weeks. Miss Panguitch but miss British Columbia trouting too. Enjoy your vids as well and good luck up north.
I very much enjoyed your video. I have just moved to Cedar City and I am trying to find a local fly shop? Is there one in the area that you are aware of?
your best choice is to drive east to the Sevier River, east fork. Late November, winter weather conditions could be challenging...on the roads and river. Mostly I've fished there in early Sept, as a break from archery muley hunting. Muddler, wooly buggers were favorite flies to swing. Closer to ST George, there are portions of Virgin River, mostly rainbows. But dams & reservoirs predominate this closer area.
Appreciate the overview! I'm taking our family here for a reunion and we're renting one of the boats from the marinas to fish in. I'm a fly fisherman normally, but since I'll be with family on the boat I'll primarily set them up with spin rods. We'll be there end of June, do you have suggestions on bait/lure combos I can set them up with?
thank you. Sorry, living in the Northwest, I pronounced the northwest tribal way. It Lake Panguitch sure can be a "witch" of a place when the wind kicks up.
